There are so many variations to how an authentic, antique Tiffany lamp looks. The same pattern lamp can come in different shade sizes, shapes and colors. Of course all lamps with bases can have similar shade patterns but a different base. Here are just a few examples of photos of antique Tiffany Studios lamps, showing the variety in colors and shapes in their leaded shaded lamps.
Below is an authentic "Dragonfly" shade in the "Drophead" style
Below is another authentic Tiffany Dragonfly lamp in a different (cone) shape and color palette. They came in various shade shapes and color patterns, as did almost all of his other shades, whether they are floral, geometric or dragonfly designs.
Tiffany basically made cone, globe and irregular border shaped shades. There are some exceptions to this, but these are the most common shapes he used in his leaded glass shades.
Below is a Daffodil pattern shade in the globe shape
Another Daffodil shade below has a different color palette and is a cone shape and design layout.

Finally, below is a large hanging shade in a globe shape, geometric pattern. The colors of the geometric glass shades ranged from greens to gold, amber, blue and other more unusual colors.
Below is a plain geometric large dome shaped hanging shade.
There are a wide and lovely variety of shapes and colors in all antique Tiffany Studios shades. One has but to look in museums, books and at auctions and antique galleries to see the wide and vast choice of patterns, colors, and shapes that Tiffany produced over approximately thirty five years.
